HOLY MOTHER OF GOD IT'S COLD.
Also, today woke up with sore throat + neck pain. Bad sign. On the not-strep side of the argument, I pretty definitely have a cold on top of that, and the sore throat part seems to be responding to DayQuil, which strep most definitely does not. And the glands in my neck aren't swollen, as far as I can tell. So while I'm even more nervous now, this still falls more in the cold/flu range than strep throat again. I tried calling my health insurance provider just to give myself a safety net if I do need to see a doctor again, but apparently I can't reach a real live person on the weekend, so either way, I'm stuck waiting until Monday now. Fortunately, Monday is MLK day, so I have off from work already if I do need to argue with Aetna and then head back over to the ER. I never thought I'd be praying that I have the flu, but there you go.
Sorry about all the boring health blather. We'll return you to your regularly scheduled fandomness after these messages from our sponsors.

I am in a turtleneck and leggings *under* my pajamas, and two pair of socks plus my slippers.
All I need is a scarf, fingerless gloves, and a candle, and I'm in a Dickens novel.
